Arm Workouts For Women, Part 2

If you’ve already read part 1 of this guide you know how to work all the muscles in your biceps, triceps and shoulders, how to do arm exercises correctly, how to do arm-toning circuits, and how to get the right type of equipment.

But, you can’t do the same arm workouts for women over and over gain or you will hit a plateau – your results will come to a screeching halt.

So in part 2 of this guide, you’ll get another arm workout and you’ll also learn how to modify both arm workouts so that you don’t plateau.

To download your second arm workout, right click on the link below and then select “save target as” or “save link as.”

If you haven’t done so already, check out part 1 of this guide to get general guidelines on how to perform these exercises and to learn about the terminology in the arm workout – sets, repetitions, circuits, etc.

The equipment

In addition to the equipment we discussed in part 1, we also recommend getting an exercise bench to do this workout. If you can’t get a bench, it’s possible to do the lying dumbbell press and dumbbell extension from the floor – but this isn’t optimal.

Modifying the variables in the two arm workouts for women

There are four variables you can manipulate in these arm workouts for women:

Sets – don’t go above 4 sets

Reps – don’t go below 8 reps

Rest – don’t go below 30 seconds

Weight – never sacrifice form

So once you get in better shape and the provided workouts are no longer challenging, tweak the above – and remember to use weights that bring you close to failure towards the last couple of repetitions in your sets.

Mixing up the exercises

There is another strategy you can use here to prevent a plateau: mix and match exercises between the two arm workouts for women.

Just make sure the exercises match the body part. So don’t do a shoulder exercise in place of a biceps exercise – this will prevent you from working all your arm muscles evenly.

Implementing these techniques will allow you to use the two arm workouts for a very long time – they’ll last.

And remember to leave a comment below if you get stuck or have any questions.

Hey, Im sixteen years old and my body is reasonably thin and i dont have much excess fat on anywhere except for my arms are really fat at the top all over, will these exercises help to get rid of the fat on my arms?
And is there anything else i could do to help because i dont need to diet and even if i did the fat on my arms doesnt seem to go

I feel your pain! The exercises will mostly tone the underlying muscle in your arms making them appear more toned. However, if you want to get rid of fat you’ll be best served combining diet and exercise. I understand that you don’t have much overall body fat, but if you keep on losing body fat, eventually the arm fat will come off. Not fun to have a predisposition for arm fat accumulation, I know, but it will come off!
